We have extensive evidence on whether tutoring works. We have far less data on how much tutoring is actually happening in public schools. @davidblazar.bsky.social explains the gap. 🎧 Listen: https://www.edsurge.com/news/what-happens-to-high-impact-tutoring-when-the-pandemic-money-is-gone

Curriculum reform is not new. We have research from folks like @mpolikoff.bsky.social & @davidblazar.bsky.social on how curriculum affects students. I'm curious about some of the underlying assumptions and what that means for implementation and monitoring, and welcome any thoughts. 1/

Short answer: they stay longer, but localness doesn't predict effectiveness. Preparation pathway does. @futureedgu.bsky.social wrote up the paper with a nice summary, including highlighting one pathway that avoids this tradeoff: former classroom aides were both effective and more likely to stay.

A little late sharing this here: In a "new" EdWorkingPaper, Nicolas Dominguez-Mel, @smontana.bsky.social , @davidblazar.bsky.social, and I think broadly about what being a local teacher means and ask whether local teachers are more likely to stay in the profession and be more effective.

I don't understand academia's obsession with citations. 😅 I care way more about a policymaker picking up my paper + doing something with it than about whether you wrote my name at the end of a sentence. We should spend more time measuring impact based on the former!
